	start ()
	Initializes the XML writer, preparing it to accept instructions, also invoking the underlying @xml_output init method to be ready for operation.
	stop ()
	Finishes the XML writer, not accepting instructions any more, also invoking the underlying @xml_output finish method to close/flush everything as needed.

Detailed Description

Class implementing one (more or less complete) UTF-8 XML writer.

General purpose class used to output UTF-8 XML contents easily. Can be customized using implementations of @xml_output (to define where to send the xml) and and @xml_contenttransformer (to perform any transformation in contents before outputting the XML).

Has support for attributes, basic w3c xml schemas declaration, and performs some content cleaning to avoid potential incorret UTF-8 mess and has complete exception support.

TODO: Provide UTF-8 safe strtoupper() function if using casefolding and non-ascii tags/attrs names TODO: Finish phpdocs

Member Function Documentation

xml_safe_utf8()

xml_writer::xml_safe_utf8 (   $content )

protected

Perform some UTF-8 cleaning, stripping the control chars (::x0-::x1f) but tabs (::x9), newlines (\xa) and returns (\xd).

The delete control char (::x7f) is also included. All them are forbiden in XML 1.0 specs. The expression below seems to be UTF-8 safe too because it simply ignores the rest of characters. Also normalize linefeeds and return chars.
